Having completed an Access to HE Diploma with you, I would just like to voice my appreciation on giving me the grounding and motivation I needed to achieve my degree following my leaving the armed forces after 24 years.

I was fortunate enough to get a first and am also starting a new job. Terry.

My amazing tutors would phone, email, recommend me textbooks and send me links to websites. I never felt like I was out of my depth.

Many universities found the way I did my diploma really interesting, and commended me on my achievements. I applied to four and gained a conditional offer from all of them. Emma.

I knew straight away that the course would suit me as I worked full time and cared for my two children.

The support, positive comments from my tutors and the distinctions that I achieved kept me going to the end. I am very proud of my achievement and very grateful to everyone. Philippina.

I tried to do college courses but never got the chance to finish because of the rigid course structure. I called a university where they told me about you.

This was the turning point for me, opening the door to my future. Because of the flexibility offered, I now have a start date for a BNurs (Hons) Degree.Ricky.

You have given me a great opportunity to improve my intellectual reasoning and boost my self-esteem.

With the strong words of advice from my tutors, I managed to sail through. I am short of words about how this has changed my life. I am now looking forward to university admission next autumn. Omalara.

Having had my teenage schooling years wasted on me, I finally found the time and inclination to realise a dream. I'm glad I chose you as the course work seems far more in-depth than other courses friends have done.

It has been hard at times but well worth it and I now have a place at university to study midwifery. Fantastic! Janey.

Having experienced extensive physiotherapy after being injured in Afghanistan, I knew that it was the career for me.

The tutors have been approachable, understandable and above all, passionate about the course. I have now been accepted on to a BSc Physiotherapy programme. Carl.

When I enrolled, I had just given birth to my first son. You gave me the flexibility to study at my own pace. I welcomed the option to put my studies on hold in the months leading up to the birth of my second son.

The course materials are written in plain English, and my tutors have been a pillar of support. Phathekile.

Believe in your dreams!

At the beginning I found the course a bit difficult, partly because English is not my first language; but I received all the guidance I needed and then started really enjoying it.

I finished the course with merits and distinctions, which secured my place at university. Anita.

Previously working as a Quantity Surveyor, I decided to have a career change and go into the health industry.

I have been able to retain all the information that has been given, due to the excellent teaching methods. Tutors are friendly and very approachable, helping you every step of the way. Aidan.
